The if_pppoe backend does not support all advanced features of the MPD implementation
-
Works good so far. The only thing I am missing is the "periodic reset" because I need it happen daily at night times. Without that I will have go back to the MPD-based implementation.

Needing a periodic reset every night does sound slightly odd but can you not reset what you need to via Chron?

It isn't. ISP does a reset after 24 hours so this can happen somewhat anytime. To mitigate this, you do it like this and the option is/was there for a reason.
But your are also right. I was able to copy "pppoe_restart_pppoe0" from /var/etc/ to /etc/ while it was present and also copy that cronjob, edited it and it seems to work just fine. But if I am able to do that, developers should as well and do it for all of us.

I've never had an ISP do that to me and have no idea why an ISP do so as it isn't a recognised implementation of any standard. So yes, a bit odd that your provider does that to you.
Glad the Cron countermeasure works but it should not come down to the end user. Your ISP needs a kicking and/or you need a better ISP.
